ed has moved to select hospital

Ed has moved to Select Hospital, which is co-located with Presbyterian / St. Luke's. Select is a long-term acute care hospital (LTAC), so it is oriented to patients who do not need such intense care. Ed is stable and his terperature is normal, based on the multiple antibiotics he is receiving, but the doctor is trying to avoid the ping-pong between hospital and nursing home by having Ed taken care of in the LTAC to make sure he's not developing some other infection.

ed's back at rose hospital

Not a very good sign that Ed went back to the hospital three days after finishing his last round of IV antibiotics. Sigh.

ed's back at monaco parkway

Ed went back to Monaco Parkway last Sunday - guess I forgot to update the blog.

He'll be on IV antibiotics for another five days, then we'll see how he does. He occasionally runs a low-grade fever, but at least not a high fever. Other than that, there's no change.
